"If government crisis not solved by next week, I'll withdraw from coalition," - MP Lutsenko

Poroshenko Bloc faction leader Yurii Lutsenko said he would tender a statement of withdrawal from the coalition if the political crisis is not tackled by the end of the week.

As reported by Censor.NET referring to 112 Ukraine, Lutsenko said it after a meeting of representatives of factions and groups in the Verkhovna Rada.

"If the government crisis is not solved by the next week, I, people's deputy Yurii Lutsenko, will tender a statement of withdrawal from the coalition, because I don't see any possibility to continue to pretend that everything is fine in the country and we deliver on our liabilities before voters," the MP said.

"I think this is the last week when we can show that the parliament is capable of changing the government, without deviating from the path of the European reforms," he added.
